Petralia Soprana is a municipality of the province of Caltanissetta, bordering the municipalities of Petralia Sottana to the northwest, Blufi to the west, Bompietro to the southwest, Alimena to the south, Gangi to the east, and Geraci Siculo to the northeast.
Until 1972, before the partition of the Petralia Soprana municipality, its municipal territory included the village of Blufi and the surrounding territory. Therefore, the old literature (e.g. Ferrara, 1813; Percival, 1824; Jervis, 1881) locates on the territory of Petralia the famous Sanctuary of Madonna dell'Olio (also known as Santuario di Petralia) with the neighbouring spring where petroleum appears mixed with water [see: http://www.mindat.org/loc-271340.html].
Furthermore, the territory of Petralia has yielded specimens of dark red to almost black amber (Bombicci, 1890).
